That tree line as you sailed under Lionsgate Bridge is Stanley Park - 1,000 acres downtown Vancouver . Super nice walking or biking paths .

Jay referring to the themed MDR menu “If you’re guessing for me…” I feel seen! 😂🤪🐟🐠

The food looked amazing. I bet this is going to be a memorable cruise.

I loved the music on HAL. I see people saying there’s no entertainment on HAL ships, by which they mean production shows I guess, but the R&B on my HAL cruise was so good, I didn’t even mind how people-y the venue became.

@marjielalonde3875 8 месяцев назад

The Holland America food looks so good, and well presented. I`m looking forward to this series I really enjoy your Alaska cruises, and seeing the ports you haven`t visited before. Love from Vancouver Island❤

@lorettachapman4244 8 месяцев назад

I just love seeing all the different ships through your blogs!! Looks like it’s going to be a great cruise. 😊😊

Lol good one! 😅

@React2This 8 месяцев назад

Eee! I’m so excited to see Kodiak, even minus bears. My one and only cruise (so far) was Alaska on Eurodam, and I wanted to bring that bed home with me. Super comfortable.

@mathuetax 3 месяца назад

This series has been very nice to watch, we'll be on this ship later this year and since I'm cruise newbie it has been helpful.

@mrgreen9900 8 месяцев назад

Caught a glimpse of "Friends of Bill W. Meeting" on the cruise guide, nice to see HAL is actively promoting these!!! Can't wait to see all your adventures and how like HAL for Alaska!

@845broon1 3 месяца назад

Thank you very much for this video. We are booked on the Noordam mid Sept 2023, also 14 days from Vancouver to Alaska, and return. Did you see any northern lights?

@maryroberts2099 3 месяца назад

I went to Prince Rupert BC last year on the Miracle. It’s a great town. We took the trolley tour. The town mayor got on every trolley to welcome passengers and thank them for visiting. It’s also home to North Americas smallest Walmart. They call it Smallmart

@michelleirby1518 8 месяцев назад

Yes!!! It’s been a really rough day, but you guys always make it better!

@eminiarvii 8 месяцев назад

Yes, you must go one a South American cruise! And didn’t you love saying ‘see you in 2 weeks?’ Lobe those drawers under the bed. Nice duo pianos and songs. The R&B music sets were nice too. Looking forward to your upcoming series😊🚢

@HollyDTravelingAfterTransplant 8 месяцев назад

Great video! Love seeing these cruises during the non-peek times!

@brendas9803 8 месяцев назад

We did a 38 day South Pacific on the Noordam. Loved her! We spent almost every night at BBKing which I am assuming is now The RollingStone. Love reminiscing! Enjoy!

@markevans8262 8 месяцев назад

We love HAL!

@susananderson618 8 месяцев назад

Been waiting for this series...we are booked on HAL for May 2025 B2B on Koningsdam......heading to Hawaii on HAL this coming January....they are our cruise line of choice these days for the great food and the live music....yes we are old and proud of it!

Hi y’all! Looking forward to seeing this new series on HAL. Also, you both are looking great ! X Debbie!

@reedaharris1341 8 месяцев назад

I have been to Prince Rupert. It was nice and they have a wonderful museum there as well.

@anakerose 7 месяцев назад

Cabins felt like a cross between Princess and Carnival. At least that was my first impression

@harrietwalker9064 8 месяцев назад

Looks great on the ship

@MrRamyon74 8 месяцев назад

Our next two cruise ships in the one shot, heading to Australia to get on Brilliance then off to Alaska next year on Noordam.. I have been waiting intently for this one, wasn’ t sure if Noordam was the right ship for us… looks nice though

@bstenson1964 8 месяцев назад

Will definitely have to check out Holland. We have only cruised Carnaval. I am a bit of a foodie Holland definitely looks like an upgrade.

@jenniferneil2710 8 месяцев назад

I love Holland America i am surprising my daughter for her graduation in 25 we are also going to Alaska

@TrueNorthJourneys 8 месяцев назад

Question- Dee, where did you get your cream color (or white?) backpack? I love it and would like to buy one!

@parodeejay 8 месяцев назад

It’s in our Amazon shop!! :D #ad www.parodeejay.com/amazon

@pattisdelle7630 6 месяцев назад

Do you recall how long Vancouver embarkation may haven taken? I’m hearing it can be upwards of 3+hours! I’m hoping that would be lessened with fewer ships in port?! I’d appreciate any tips or tricks for our May 2024 Ruby Princess Alaska cruise. Thank you in advance ☺

@parodeejay 6 месяцев назад

There are a looooot of steps at Vancouver, it seems! On a good day, you're probably looking at about an hour to do all the steps, but at peak times they probably can get backed up!! :P

@lensunny5583 7 месяцев назад

We loved this series. Where did you stay in Vancouver?! Thank you

@loveboatcruising 8 месяцев назад

So your video played right after mine today, and I have laugh about the socks because I rarely wear them, even in Alaska. I wear UGGs😂but that’s California for ya. Thanks for sharing, I’m ready to compare HAL with Princess even though I have elite status❤

@anakerose 7 месяцев назад

Is Noordam close to a Spirit Class Carnival ship in layout? We were wondering how many kids were on board. I'd like to try Holland, but not sure if it would be a good fit with our 10 year old son. He loves Princess though. ❤ leaving from Vancouver!!!

@parodeejay 7 месяцев назад

Noordam is probably about the same size as a Carnival Spirit-class ship, but we wouldn't say the layout is similar, no. It's pretty nice and flowy overall, but there's something about the flow of a Spirit-class ship that's just so nice!! :D

@lyngreen6525 Месяц назад

Was the muster drill virtual I saw you went out on deck

@parodeejay Месяц назад

Typically there's a portion you complete in the app, but there's also a portion that you complete in person by visiting your muster station and having your card scanned.

@user-ox3lg4jv8s 8 месяцев назад

I am not sure you noticed, but when you were talking about the Canadian crack and whales, there were whales blowing in the background of your clip. Living on Vancouver Island (in the crack, although that doesn't sound right) we see whales from early spring to late fall.

@nexusSix_237 Месяц назад

Did they have umbrellas for people to borrow while in port? Or did they at least have umbrellas for sale on the ship? I am talking a rain coat but i love having an umbrella if its actually raining

@parodeejay Месяц назад

HAL usually does provide umbrellas from what we’ve seen!! :D

@mrs.knecro7044 5 месяцев назад

Random question do you “re clean” the room when you get into them? I’ve seen a couple channels they go through and re Clorox spray everything. Just curious That food looked so good!

@oldgoat50 8 месяцев назад

Did you find the piano duo to be loud? On the Eurodam I sat 1 min and left.😮

@dannypaquot8650 8 месяцев назад

Hi Dee, hi Jay, can you tell me with your great Alaska experience, the best port for whale watching. Our ports are Juneau Skagway Ketchikan and Haines. Thank you very much and have a great day. Danny.

@parodeejay 8 месяцев назад

Heyo! Of that itinerary, your best bet would probably be Juneau. We enjoyed Harv & Marv's for the small boat experience, Juneau Whale Watch for the large boat experience, and the Juneau Lighthouse Tours option was a fun combo idea. Otherwise, I'm sure the ship has an array of offerings!! :D

@dannypaquot8650 8 месяцев назад

Dammit, I did not know those were drawers at the foot of the bed. I want a do-over.
